Beboerne

Beboerne is a Danish and Norwegian Bokmål term meaning “the residents” or “the inhabitants.” It is the definite plural form of the noun beboer, used to refer to people who live in a particular place, such as a building, a neighborhood, or a municipality.

The word is formed from the verb bo, meaning “to live,” and follows standard Scandinavian pluralization patterns. In Danish, the plural indefinite form is beboere, and the definite plural is beboerne; in Norwegian Bokmål, the same forms are used for the definite plural.

Usage and context are common in everyday speech as well as in official language. The term appears in discussions about housing, tenant associations, urban planning, and local journalism to identify the residents of a defined area. Because beboerne denotes a specific community, it often functions as the subject or object referring to those residents in sentences or reporting.

Etymology notes: beboer shares its root with related terms in the Scandinavian languages, all linked to living or dwelling. The definite plural form beboerne distinguishes a particular group of residents from others.
